Some say the song was written because of a drug addiction, I agree.
" Saw your first ship sink and drown, from rockin' of the boat,
And all that could not sink or swim was just left there to float.
I won't leave you drifting down, but woh it makes me wild,
With thirty years upon my head to have you call me child."
This is one of my favorite dead tunes, and maybe it's because there is so much passion.
